On this episode of the podcast I speak to Ellis Bland, fresh off his win at Lakes In A Day.

This was a deep conversation that took me off guard to begin with. We talked at great lengths about body dysmorphia in men, how we seem to perpetuate the notion that “lighter is faster” and the rise of the hybrid athlete in ultramarathons.

We talk about his love of all types of running and his passion for racing in more of a North American style, different to how he’s perceived as a “fell runner”

We obviously talk about Vaga and it’s rise from being an idea, to now dominating the running world selling caps and beanies in 30+ countries globally.

Ellis is a very intelligent and interesting guy and I believe he will go on to become a truly great ultra runner on the world stage!
